Basic Information

Since starting as a specialist in joint surgery and treatments in 2003, Wellton Hospital expanded and relocated in August 2009 to its present location, adopting the latest-technology equipment and medical technology.

The hospital minimizes risks of in-surgery infection, with internationally certified technology and equipment, the thoroughgoing disinfection system in operation rooms, and the talented orthopedic staff.

Wellton Hospital has been named a training center by Johnson & Johnson and Stryker, both renowned producers of medical equipment, for providing training on knee and hip joint replacements. Through exchange with doctors abroad, Wellton Hospital continues to adopt better and more advanced techniques.

The hospital also operates a non-blood transfusion system, which allows us to perform joint replacement procedures without blood transfusion on patients who for religious or other reasons do not want blood transfusion.

Ensures early recovery and rehabilitation by preserving as much of the existing muscles and tendons as possible (patients can walk as early as four hours after receiving surgery).

Wellton is the hospital in the Seoul and Gyeonggi region to have performed the greatest number of Total Hip Replacement Surgery (2009).

Prevents risks of joint displacement through minimal invasion and preservation of existing muscles and tendons.

Stryker, a world-renowned producer of medical equipment, has filmed minimally invasive joint replacement operation performed at Wellton and made it into DVD to be distributed for doctors’ training worldwide.
